I picked up a few new releases for Traveller recently, so here's my review of Mongoose's latest book of ships, Traders and Gunboats! Previous editions have had supplements of the same name, but none have looked as good as this one. This 202-page book packs in about 70 new ships, from all different polities around Charted Space, which could be run by players or serve as background colour in a system they visit, or provide you with interesting targets and locations for jobs both legit and otherwise.

Speaking as a Forever GM that doesn't have the time to create ships of my own, books like these are absolute gold when running a Traveller game. Those of you who are gearheads and love building your own ships won't get as much value out of this release, but if you're like me and are in need of cool stuff to toss at your players when they inevitably do something preposterously different from what you expected, I suspect you'll enjoy this book a great deal! :)

So, come join me as I take a detailed look at the varied traders, liners, gunboats, freighters, and others contained within this volume, and see what you think!

Meanwhile, if you're considering playing Mongoose Traveller 2e but find it all a bit intimidating, Seth Skorkowsky has you covered with his essential review/introductory video series here:    • Traveller Overview  

Further down the line we'll take a look at some other Traveller stuff I've picked up lately, including some Fifth Frontier War material and the updated Great Rift slipcase, so please do look out for those videos in the weeks to come :)
